Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Last day of May so lets bring on June and Summer!! Ten days until we visit the mainland, Denver first.

This week's picture takes us back to Oahu and our apartment in Aloha Lani overlooking the Ko'olau mountains and the Ala Wai Canal. It was a beautiful view from the 26th floor and always special after a rain.

Enjoy, have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!

Aloha Friday! Hawaii certainly is the Rainbow State. Some trips we've seen rainbows every day for several days in a row. In 2016 we saw a rainbow that lasted for over an hour. My first picture was at 4:12 PM and my last at 5:20 PM. Most of the time it was 180 degrees. It was really vivid when I took this picture at 4:40 PM.

Happy Aloha Friday! I'm going to a local farm with my neighbor this morning to pick berries and maybe some other things!

Update: I picked a few cherries, a few peaches and a lot of blueberries before it got too hot! It's supposed to be 96º here today! I need to take my tall husband back for cherry and peach picking - it's not a job for a short lady!

Happy Aloha Friday. I can't believe the magical May I had. It began with acquiring two ticket to the Rolling Stones's sold out show at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. Having a fine time with family in New Orleans seeing all the sights and eating crawdads. Coming home to three birthday parties throughout the month. Having the Northern Lights put on a never before seen in my area hour long show with bright green, red and pink lights that were so bright the city lights couldn't dull them. Seeing my four year old great grandson catch his first 25 pound Springer. Nothing broke on anyone's Jeep's doing the hard trails and climbs.

The cake is SFX was able to get us a couple of Feb weeks for next winter a few days ago. The icing is I was able to reserve an almost impossible reservation yesterday. It's been a blessed month.

Happy Aloha Friday from the First Coast! It has been an absolutely gorgeous day in northeast Florida. We spent a couple hours at the beach and it was so nice with a cool breeze. I probably won’t be able to say that very often over the next 3 months. I enjoy the quiet solitude of Vilano Beach near St. Augustine which is where this picture was taken this morning.

We had a picnic by the pool today. Hot dogs and Brats on the grill.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Our first trip to the mainland in Five years is here. We start with a visit with our daughter Michelle in Denver and then finish out with a week in Wisconsin to visit our son Daniel.

This week's picture is from here on Molokai at WaveCrest. It's from down by the shore looking up over the C building. Good-bye for a couple weeks.

Enjoy, have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!

Another thing I don't miss about Wisconsin.

Aloha Friday! Not much happening in MN, so we sit in our easy chairs and watch the giant machine chew up the asphalt so they can put down a new layer. @slip, I hope you get some of the nice weather we've been having this week. The strong breeze has grounded the mosquitoes.

Aloha from San Diego (inland). We had a beautiful day - upper 70's and nice breezes. Yesterday I took a nice 4 mile hike with friends. We usually hike further but one of my friends had some issues and we always accommodate the person with issues. Because we are all getting older, the "lowest common denominator" person varies.

Slip, I enjoy reading about your move to Molokai and your life adjustments. We are currently considering moving to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). So, we have a bunch of adjustments coming.

Big Mahalo!!!

It's been an adventure for us, for sure. Next week's trip to the mainland is actually the last thing we planned while we still lived in Wisconsin. We had always planned on a return trip in five years. I was just talking to Kim about that yesterday. When we get back we will decide on when our next mainland trip will be.

You definitely have an adventure coming up and it will have some nice positive adjustments also. We hope all works out well.

It's that time of year.

Alittle early since we are in Denver.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Another travel day. We finish up our visit with Michelle here in Denver and now we move on to Wisconsin. At least it's only a two hour flight this time.

This week's picture takes us back to Molokai. I took this one on our Mokulele flight to Maui. Molokai Is home to the highest Sea Cliffs in the world. Some reaching over 4,000 ft tall.

Enjoy!!! Have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!!

Happy Aloha Friday from Coastal Virginia. Today it will be hazy, hot and humid.

Happy Aloha Friday. Last Sunday we decided that I should change a couple of deck boards. When I had built this house I had a crew so it only took about a day to build the deck. Fast forward 30 years and it's only me changing out deck boards. To remove the old boards I had to remove the siding and dig out the rail end that is between the deck and rim joist. Long story short, I'm changing all of the boards. It takes about 45 minutes to remove and replace a deck board which includes breaks after a couple are changed. What started as changing several boards has turned into to a summer
project.

Aloha Friday!

Deck's aren't easy. Our old deck was starting to fall apart so we hired a guy to replace it with a slightly larger one. It took him several weeks to tear down the old and build the new one, mostly working by himself. Of course, the building code has changed, so the requirements are stricter. This one is very solid and maintenance free. I'm getting to old to move everything off then on again to stain it. We love the new one.

Happy Fridsay from Tacoma WA.
Leaving for Kala Point tonight, Port Townsend WA.
2 hour drive, just using up time that would expire.
Been there many times, first time in the summer but predicting rain for the weekend, oh well.
